Ari Peskoe and Fred Stafford using Simpson memes on #energysky to argue about utility business models after a David Roberts episode of Volts. I’m so happy.

Being *Public Power Underground* we took particular interest in #3 and #4.

3-Shifting the balance of power in existing forms of energy governance
4-Creating new, cooperative, and participatory systems of energy governance and ownership

Tune in for an interesting discussion of political economy.

We discuss the *6* principles of energy justice that emerged from Salma's review of community-based organization *visioning documents* (a term Salma developed and popularized). 💡🔌

"When we look at these visioning documents, I think there's a lot of value in thinking through the energy system in terms of talking to people about how they experience energy infrastructure, how they experience their utility."

- Season 6, Episode 18, 10:14

Dr. Tony Reames and Dr. Salma Elmallah discuss their work and research on energy justice in a special episode of Public Power Underground called "Afterparty: Frontlining Energy Justice"

Paul Dockery @pauldockery.bsky.social · Dec 18

"There might be a very narrow set of techno-economic experts that have influence in a process like [regulatory filings]. That's not an apolitical space, but it only allows for certain types of politics or a narrow set of concerns to be expressed."

"It's not always the case that we can represent our energy systems in very quantifiable, discrete ways that don't allow for political understanding in the way that having a conversation with someone would." - Salma Elmallah in conversation with Tony G. Reames, PhD and Ahlmahz Negash

Afterparty: Frontlining Energy Justice

Governing the commons seems particularly apt for the management of electric service. I’m excited to keep digging in.

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Altmetric @altmetric.com · Dec 3

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

I wrote an accessible introduction to the life and work of the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Economics - Elinor Ostrom. She showed that are not doomed to fall into the "tragedy of the commons." Collaborative governance is possible.
